Thanks to Fallout 4’s disaster update, GOG’s patch rollback feature makes it the best version of the game right now
Fallout 4’s next-gen update has been an unmitigated disaster on PC: in exchange for practically no improvements, many non-Creation Club (read: paid) mods for the game have been rendered unusable until the community at large or individual mod authors come up with a fix. If you already have the game on GOG, though, you’re in…

Arrowhead says Helldivers 2 players should avoid bullying those fancy lads with the blue preorder armor, who are canonically frozen yogurt salesmen
First reported by GamesRadar, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has politely requested that players refrain from killing their teammates who are wearing the fancy blue preorder armor, no matter how much you may want to stick it to those nerds and their silly little outfits.

Fallout 4’s ‘next gen’ update is nearly 16 gigs, breaks modded saves, and doesn’t seem to change much at all
Fallout 4’s long promised next gen (really current gen) update is finally here after a two-year wait since its initial announcement, but it’s not a winner on PC. We anticipated there would be the usual issues with mod compatibility (see the Fallout London devs delaying their highly anticipated project), but PC players aren’t getting much…

We weren’t quite sure what to make of Mecha Break when it was unveiled at last year’s Game Awards—is this a story-heavy challenger to Armored Core’s throne, or something else entirely? After a gameplay reveal earlier this year and a conversation through a translator with developer Amazing Seasun’s CEO, Kris Kwok, I got the skinny…

A leaked Call of Duty: Mobile skin turns a gun into a 3D animated WWII diorama where tiny little men fight and die in a miniature war, and it’s so absurd I don’t care how much it costs
This leaked Call of Duty: Mobile skin is a gun turned into a battlefield, a miniature battlefield with tiny men who run around on top and fight and die, all while carried by a tiny guy who lives only to fight and die on a miniature battlefield inside of your phone, which is in turn…

After playing hundreds of hours of The Witcher 3 since 2015, I can’t believe I’d never heard of this mod that squashes 5,400+ bugs and restores cut dialogue
While checking out the latest Witcher 3 secrets from xLetalis, I came across something that startled me: The Witcher 3 has its very own Unofficial Patch-style mod, Brothers in Arms, that not only gets after persistent bugs left in the nine year-old game, but also restores some minor cut content to boot. A great preponderance…

NieR creator insists that his decisions are based on what he thinks will sell, while also quipping that ‘at first I listen to what the publisher wants from me, but later I don’t’
In a joint IGN interview with NieR creator Yoko Taro and Stellar Blade creative director Hyung-tae Kim, the two developers had nothing but praise for each other’s work, while the famously eccentric Taro insisted that his surreal and existentialist fever dream NieR: Automata was just an Evangelion rip off that played to the market. While…

I’m a Witcher 3 obsessive, revisiting CD Project’s opus once every two or three years, but that barely holds a candle to the Witcher 3 devotion of xLetalis, a YouTuber who’s been documenting the massive game’s secrets and esoterica since release, and is still finding new surprises to this day. The latest, as reported by…

OG Fallout lead Tim Cain defends the show’s lore changes in a glowing full review—’Not that it matters, I’m not in charge of this anymore, and neither are you’
Original Fallout creator and long time CRPG developer Tim Cain has made a deep dive video about the Fallout TV show, this just one week after he shared his experience at the Hollywood premiere and his disapproval of some of the series’ more rude fans. The verdict? Cain still loves the show, and doesn’t seem…
